Georgia,
Pity, but worth a try! I'm afraid that you have little option but do as recommended in the Legacy Troubleshooting Page and delete the lot (.usr files), yes, all of them! I would do some things first though. The colours of Legacy are a pain to restore, so if you haven't already done It, I would first go to Options>Customise>Colours and use the 'Save' button to save them with a name of your choice. Similarly if you have web pages and haven't saved those settings then I suggest that you do, also if you have any special report settings I would save the Report Options - and there may well be others you can think of. The point being that every setting which you have carefully chosen will be restored to the Legacy defaults. Glad to hear that your timelines are not lost! Good Luck!

I was able to open them but, of course, the formatting was crazy. I deleted the two .usr files related to Timelines, went back to Legacy, did another file maintenance/check repair but when I go to an individual's chronology and try to add a timeline, I still get the same error message. What do you suggest next?
